A scientist started with a culture of 10 bacteria in a dish. The number of bacteria at the end of each successive minute increased exponentially, so that the number at the end of one hour was 500. How many hours (to the nearest hour) from the start of the experiment passed before there were 1,000,000 bacteria?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Exponential growth is a model showing a specific quantity increasing over time.

The formula for it is [tex]y(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}[/tex]

in which

y(t) is the quantity after time t

A₀ is initial value

k is rate of growth

t is time

To determine how much time has passed, first find the rate of growth and knowing that 1 hour has 60 minutes:

[tex]500=10e^{60k}[/tex]

[tex]e^{60k}=50[/tex]

[tex]60k=ln(50)[/tex]

k = 0.065

With the rate, determine the time

[tex]10^{6}=10e^{0.065t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{0.065}=10^{5}[/tex]

[tex]0.065t=5ln(10)[/tex]

t = 177.12 minutes

The amount of hours passed is

[tex]t=\frac{177.123}{60}[/tex]

t = 3

From the start of the experiment, it has passed 3 hours before there were 1,000,000 bacterias.

Answers

Answer:

(-1,3) (0,-2) are two points that the line goes directly through. count the rise/run from the point furthest left to the one further right. you go down 5 and right 1. since you had to go down to get there, the slope is negative. slope is rise over run so in this case it's -5/1 or slope is = -5

to find the y-intercept, you find where the line crosses the y-axis. you find what y is when x is 0. in this case it's -2

slope = -5

y-intercept = -2

and if it asks for an equation of the line, you plug those given values above, into the slope intercept form which is : y=mx+b

where m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

the equation of this line is " y = -5x -2 "

The function f(x) varies inversely with x and f(x)=2 when x = 16.

What is f(x) when x = 4?

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is:  [D]:  "8" .

Step-by-step explanation:f y varies inversely with x;  then y = k/x ; with "k" being the "constant" in this equation.  

You can find the constant by substituting the values given: x = 16,  f(x) = y = 2 ;

So, f(x) = y = 2  = k/16 ;

→  2 = k / 16 ;

Solve for the constant; "k" ;

Multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "16"

→  16* (2) = (k / 16) * 16 ;

→  32 = k ;

 ↔  k = 32 ;  

As such, we can write the equation:

y = k/ x ; as:

→  y = 32/ x ;

Since we are given:  "x = 4" ;  Plug in that value; and solve for "y" ;

y = 32/4 = 8 .

y = 8 .

y = f(x) ;

So;  f(x) = 8 ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [D]:  "8" .

Which function displays this end behavior?
• As xapproaches negative infinity, y approaches positive infinity.
• As xapproaches positive infinity, yapproaches negative infinity.
A.) y = (x+ 2)^3 -9
B.) y = -2x^3-1
C.) y = -3x^3 + 4
D.) y = 3(x-1)^2

Answers

The functions that displays the behavior that as x approaches -∞, y approaches ∞ and as x approaches -∞, y approaches  -∞ are:

Option B: [tex]y = -2x^3-1[/tex]Option C:  [tex]y = -3x^3 + 4[/tex]

How to find the value of the function as x approaches infinity(+ve or -ve)?

If limits exist, we can take limits of the function, where x tends to -∞ or ∞, and that limiting value will be the value the function will approach.

Testing all the four functions listed for x tending to -∞ or ∞:

Case A: [tex]y = (x+ 2)^3 -9[/tex]

1. For x approaching -∞

[tex]lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} (y) = lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} ((x+2)^3 - 9) = -9 + lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} ((x+2)^3) \rightarrow - \infty[/tex]

(since cube of negative quantity is going to be negative)

Thus, function also tends to -∞. So this function doesn't satisfy first case, thus, we don't need to test other case as only that function is needed which can satisfy both the cases.

Case B: [tex]y = -2x^3-1[/tex]

1. For x approaching -∞

[tex]lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} (y) = lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} (-2x^3 - 1) = -1 + lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} (-2x^3) \rightarrow \infty[/tex]

(this time, negative sign was canceled by outer negative. So function approaches positive infinity as x approaches negative infinity.

2.  For x approaching ∞

[tex]lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (y) = lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (-2x^3 - 1) = -1 + lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (-2x^3) \rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

So function approaches negative infinity as x approaches positive infinity

Thus, the considered function behaves as needed.

Case C: [tex]y = -3x^3 + 4[/tex]

Similar to above cases, we can see that negative sign and cube power will make this function go to positive infinity as x approaches negative infinity, and as x approaches positive infinity, the function will approach negative infinity.

Remember that finite constants added or subtracted from arbitrary large quantities(positive or negative infinity) can't affect them.

Case D: [tex]y = 3(x-1)^2[/tex]

Here x is in square power, no matter if x approaches +ve or -ve infinity, the square term would make it positive. So this function cannot approach negative infinity.

Thus, only Option B and C are performing as needed. Therefore, the functions that displays the behavior that as x approaches -∞, y approaches ∞ and as x approaches -∞, y approaches  -∞ are:

Option B: [tex]y = -2x^3-1[/tex]Option C:  [tex]y = -3x^3 + 4[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard from of equation of a line is expressed as g(x) = mx+c where;

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept of the line.

Given the expression g(x)= (- 8)(x +3), rewriting in standard form first we have;

g(x)= (- 8)(x +3)

gx)= -8x - 24

On Comparing with g(x) mx+ c, we will see that;

c = -24

. Beth is making gingerbread men. She uses 2 raisins for eyes and 3 raisins for buttons for each gingerbread man. She buys 4 boxes of raisins, each with 120 raisins in it. How many dozens of gingerbread men can she make​

Answers

i think the answer is Beth can make 8 dozen gingerbread men

The number of gingerbreads that Beth can be made from 4 boxes of raisins is 8 dozens.

What is Proportion?

Proportions are mathematical statements where two or more ratios are made to be equivalent to each other.

Number of raisins Beth uses for one gingerbread man = 2 raisins for eyes and 3 raisins for buttons.

Number of raisins used for 1 gingerbread man = 2 + 3 = 5 raisins

Beth buys 4 boxes of raisins, each with 120 raisins in it.

Total number of raisins Beth bought = 4 × 120 = 480 raisins

So, 1 gingerbread can be made from 5 raisins.

Let x be the number of gingerbreads made from 480 raisins.

Using proportion,

1 : 5 = x : 480

1 / 5 = x / 480

Applying cross multiplication,

5x = 480

x = 480 / 5

x = 96

96 gingerbreads or 96/12 = 8 dozens of gingerbread can be made.

Hence 8 dozens of gingerbreads can be made from 4 boxes of raisins.
